redarrow Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 [code=php:0]<?php // create handle for new PDF document $pdf = pdf_new(); // open a file pdf_open_file($pdf, "philosophy.pdf"); // start a new page (A4) pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842); // get and use a font object $arial = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host", 1); pdf_setfont($pdf, $arial, 10); // print text pdf_show_xy($pdf, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,", 50, 750); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "than are dreamt of in your philosophy", 50, 730); // end page pdf_end_page($pdf); // close and save file pdf_close($pdf); ?>[/code]In order to use PHP's PDF manipulation capabilities, you need to have the PDFLib library installed on your system. If you're working on Linux, you can download a copy from http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/index.html and compile it for your box. If you're running Windows, your job is even simpler - a pre-built PDF library is bundled with your distribution, and all you need to do is activate it by uncommenting the appropriate lines in your PHP configuration file.Additionally, you'll need a copy of the (free!) Adobe Acrobat PDF reader, so that you can view the documents created via the PDFLib library. You can download a copy of this reader from http://www.adobe.com/Once you've got everything in place, it's time to create a simple PDF file.
